Come on people, is this a really good way to go? We have unstable, so we
should try an experiment:
- get all packages depending on the old ABI in a list
- organize a "porting party"
- recompile as many libs and as many applications as possible during the
party (making them ready for NMU). Upload all them to a special
location, so people can test gcc-3.0 compiled apps if they want to!
- if there are less than 50-70% ported, continue in an other party.
- when we have >> 50-70%, upload them to main and report bugs to
remaining packages.
I know, this proposal is a bit radical, but what should we do? Some
maintainers are sleeping, we would need months to move completely to
gcc-3.0.
Gr{us,eeting}s,
